New mothers breastfeed in front of endangered orangutan to try to show her how to care for baby

Lizzie Reeves organized 30 mothers to demonstrate breastfeeding in front of Mujur, a 19-year-old orangutan at Dublin Zoo, to aid her maternal development.
Mujur, who recently gave birth, was "extremely interested" in the demonstrations, mirroring some actions, but struggled to position her baby for feeding.
Despite efforts, the zoo decided to bottle feed Mujur's baby as she previously lost two offspring due to lack of maternal qualities.
